Was bored about 2 weeks ago and started to dismantle my case for a cleaner approach

Got sleeving kit from murdermod and some stuffs from niclasteoh

Here r a few pictures in progress. It is hard to do modding stuff as it takes time, patient and patient.





I powder coated the motherboard tray. Before that i had some holes cut into it for better cable management





PSU modding going on currently. Sleeving material not enough. Used it to sleeve other items to. Trying to get more sleeves.





The original HDD case cannot accommodate 3 hard drive facing backwards. So i had about 1/4 inch cut off the back to have 3 hard drives in it



This is the ESA module to control fans and also to monitor the temperature. The fan cables where directed into the front fan intake casing and through another fan bracket (image below). Then the cables were hidden within the casing to supply other fans





Holes were made in the fan bracket to allow cables to pass through









SATA cables sleeved



Any suggestions, please let me know

Here r a few more updates on my project



I did single sleeving for all my power supply cables



I have not done for the 8 pin PCI-E connectors yet. Sleeves finish. Just ordered from MPDC-X and hopefully arrives early next week



I am modifying my sata power cable from the original and below is the finish product







Here a few better photo of my motherboard tray





I cut the fan wire shorted so that it looks neat





8 pin extension cable - sleeving done



Front I/O wires sleeved



6 pin PCI-E cables sleeved





SATA cables sleeved too.

hehe looks nice.. im doing sleeving too soon.. ordering stuffs from niclas .. although im doing a full modification on my TJ09 to fit in all my WC junks xP

Always buy extra sleeves and heat shrinks as u will make some mistakes during sleeving

If u can afford, get the murmermod or mdpc-x sleeves. They are really good and u get nice results

Nice,murdermod theme
I still think you can get rid of V8,change to TRUE or Meganehalem and push pull fan for more pleasing aesthetic and performance

thought about it but got lazy

bro what size you used to sleeving your sata cable?

You got the murdermod sleeve ? How did you get it (ordered yourself or through someone / shop) and for how much ?

I used the sleeves that came with the murdermod psychopack. I am not sure about the size but its a perfect fit

Added on September 12, 2009, 4:09 pmI bought the sleeves directly from murdermod. It was the pyschopack.

I also ordered extra sleeves from MDPC-X directly as they sell the sleeves individually.

Murdermod sleeves are also MDPC-X sleeves

I think clawhammer might be bring in the sleeves. Try contacting him

Great execution on the sleeving materials
Why bother choosing lower quality sleeving when its going to make your sleeving transparent rite?

Just my 2cent opinion, but i personally would love to see attention to detail
If you can provide constant straight cut and identical heat shrink size for your sleevings, im sure it will greatly improve the aesthetic

I tried my best with constant straight cuts but as this is my first sleeving project, I was learnig a lot. It is not easy and u need a lot of patient to them

Hopefully if i have another new project, the sleeving will be better

bro how much for powder coat ur case

I paid RM40 for powder coating my motherboard tray

hi all fren, for sleeving SATA cable, also can look to me yaa...

U can also get the sleeves from him too Good seller

@TS

thanks for the info
i also wonder how people are able to cut straight lines

so what was the total cost of resleeving your whole psu+extension?

About RM300 as I had to order the sleeves from Murdermod which cost me about RM270 for the pyschopack

hoho another Silverstone on modding

Hopefully it turns out good

seems like the Doc is into case modding nowadays.


btw where do u powder coat ur mobo tray???in Muar???

I did it in Muar.

The shop guy did the cutting of the motherboard tray and the powder coating. Happy with the outcome

Running impatient for slevees to arrive from MDPC-X

omg i wish i can find someone who can do powder coating in my area.. petaling jaya >.<

just send it to those car paint shop

this would be a nice mod.
all black interior. easier to hide

u can always drive down to muar and do it

i think imma gonna do that when i get a casing.

where in Muar exactly??

Let me know when u coming, we meet up for some tea and i will bring u there

i dont think they do powder coating in paint shops

no driving license =((..

take buslah

u still got my no aite.

maybe i'll drop by,play with some quaddie and u can check me for any kind of sickness.

No problem

how to carry a 10kg case almost 1/3 size of me in a bus lol.. pegi balik xD

Then, so sadlah u can't powder coat.

Maybe u can find one at ur place. Just go to any aluminium shop (window frame) and ask them. They usually sent their item for powder coating

Here 01
Here 02

kecik2 dah pocket besarrrrr

sounds SOOO wrong in so many different level

He is saying that because i am a doctor and a joke

how about if i send to carshop and ask them to paint them?? will it be better/? and price for powder coat, expensive? XD

Powder coating better as it last longer and a bit more resistant to paint

i nvr thought TS is a doc ..

At last my sleeves are here Can't wait to finish my project





And also, i bought black 3 pin female connector

that caricature is one of a kind.

u should frame that and hang it on a wall.

i think so too

o yeah rublik .. may i ask 1 more thing T.T, how much would powder coat cost? and do i have to dissamble everything first ?

i paid about RM45 for powder coating my motherboard tray

It will be better if u dismantle everything

hmm if powder coat everything?? estimate how much =/?

This post has been edited by reiben05: Sep 20 2009, 01:21 AM

Maybe RM120 i think

omg.. i waste RM70 for painting my whole case (it will peel off) .. not knowing powder coating was another option.. thought it was like RM500 =/..

its not that expensive

well u think it can overwrite my paint?? like just powder coat over my existing paint =X?

i think usually they use chemicals to clean the parts first before coatng

Just wondering can powder coaters in Malaysia powder coat plastic?
I have read somewhere that powder coating plastic needs different resin which melts at lower temperature. Wonder whether such resin is available in msia or not.

hmm what are u planning to powder coat o.O? i thought paint would stick on plastic (side panels) better?

I dont think u can powder coat plastic as they need to be oven baked

put the plastic in oven ? wont it melt =X?

Plastics will melt

Added on September 28, 2009, 11:04 pmbtw what fans are u using ?

This post has been edited by reiben05: Sep 28 2009, 11:04 PM

thanks

yate loon blue high speed fans

wow...very nice indeed...
i didnt read from 1st post...so sorry if i offended anyone...but how did u put the fan on the front?attach to mesh or acrylic?

nice theme tho...same as my project mod...but later when u want to sleep can be quite tiresome with all the lights...if u close the side panel still bright like dat?

I am using karma bay which allows me to attach a 120mm fan to the front bay

Here is the link

For the lights, i usually use only about 3 fans and i slow the down them using the fan controller (ESA), so its not that bright. I will use all fans only when i am gaming

Very nice

I particularly like the wire management. What did you use to hold the wires flat like in this picture: http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?act=Atta...post&id=1220715

Is it just simple zip ties ? When I use zip ties, they tend to group the wires in a circle ...

This post has been edited by r4st4m4n: Sep 29 2009, 12:05 PM

I did not use zip ties as they tend to group. I bought lead strips from electrical shop and painted them black. They r easy to bend to shape and used double sided tape to stick to back of casing

sorry...my bad


anywaysssssssss
CLEAN BUILD!
Nearly zero watermark/handprints on the alu
nice job bro

I'm particularly interested with the lead strips
Mind showing some clearer pics?


GREAT BUILD

@rublik
Wow~~ Ur tj10 looks awesome...
U cut the holes on the mobo tray urself? The original tj10 doesnt have holes on mobo tray rite?

thanks, that's a great idea ... I've got to redo my wiring on my TJ-07 like that

thanks

currently at penang for medical conference Will post the picture on sunday or monday

Bought clearcmos by silverstone in singapore last week.

Hopefully in the next few week will be able to instal it.

Nice. How much ?

I paid RM30 (SGD 12)

whats clearcmos o.O?

Its a useful device that allows u to reset ur bios without opening ur casing when u r overclocking ur pc

Why u bought the clearmos in singapore ??? modernopc already got sell it ??

hmm isnt that kindda redundant seeing that alot of mobo's nowadays has a clear cmos at the i/o

mine is a old mobo, so something extra. And also, only high end new motherboards have clear cmos at the I/O
